U.S. economic growth, still racing at a potentially inflationary pace as other key parts of the world slow, could pose global risks if it forces Federal Reserve officials to raise interest rates higher than currently expected. The Fed's aggressive rate increases last year had the potential to stress the global financial system as the U.S. dollar soared, but the impact was muted by largely synchronized central bank rate hikes and other actions taken by monetary authorities to prevent widespread dollar funding problems for companies and offset the impact of weakening currencies. Now Brazil, Chile and China have begun cutting interest rates, with others expected to follow, actions that international officials and central bankers at last week's Jackson Hole conference said are largely tuned to an expectation the Fed won't raise its rate more than an additional quarter percentage point.  ( 33 min )

BEIJING (Reuters) -Profits at China's industrial firms fell 6.7% in July from a year earlier, extending this year's slump to a seventh month with weak demand squeezing companies as a post-pandemic recovery faltered in the world's second-biggest economy.

Interest rate futures tied to the Fed policy rate have shifted notably over the last few weeks, the CME Group's FedWatch tool shows, and now reflect about 50/50 odds of a quarter-percentage point increase to a range of 5.50% to 5.75% at either the Oct. 31-Nov. 1 meeting or the final meeting of the year on Dec. 12-13.

Asian stocks were mixed Monday as traders looked ahead to the Federal Reserve’s summer conference for signs of whether the U.S. central bank thinks inflation is under control or more interest rate hikes are needed to cool inflation.

Fed officials have used the event in previous year's to indicate changes in policy direction.  ( 33 min )

The MSCI All Country World Index is down nearly 6% from its recent highs, though still up 10% for the year.

Meanwhile, U.S. real yields, which show what investors can expect to earn on government bonds after adjusting for inflation, stand near their highest point since 2009.  ( 33 min )

This time the China chose to only trim its one-year benchmark lending rate by 10 basis points and leave the five-year rate unchanged, surprising analysts who had looked for cuts of 15 basis points in both.

Analysts estimate Chinese banks sold at least $2 billion offshore last week on behalf of the PBOC, but only managed a temporary pause in the yuan's decline.  ( 31 min )

Most new and outstanding loans in China are based on the one-year LPR, while the five-year rate influences the pricing of mortgages.  ( 30 min )
